MANDI - 4th c-secRe: Pain still not getting better!

[Guest guest]

I am not Mandi, but I am having my 5th section in a week and a half.

My doctors have all said it depends on what your uterus looks like.

Sometimes you end up getting a weak spot or window which increases

your risk of uterine rupture. I, also, work in labor and delivery as

a nurse and we have had many patients coming in having their 5th and

6th c-sections. We had one patient that was having her 10th. I do

have a placenta previa and an acreta with this pregnancy. I am

currently on bedrest and I have a very good chance of having a

hysterectomy with this baby. My doctors are going to be well

prepared with blood standing by in the OR and a specialist assisting

in case the placenta adheres to my bladder. This is related to

having previous c-sections. The placenta is adhered to the scar

tissue. Anyway, there is no longer a rule of three sections only and

most women are just fine.

God bless,
